For the first time in a few years, the Minnesota Vikings have a bunch of needs to fill on the defensive side of the ball during the upcoming NFL Draft.
The Vikings have had the luxury of keeping the majority of their starting defense together for the last few seasons. But with the departures of Everson Griffen, Linval Joseph, Mackensie Alexander, Trae Waynes, and Xavier Rhodes, Minnesota has some pretty big holes to fill on defense during this year’s draft.
During the first round of the draft on Thursday, the Vikings will likely have a variety of options to choose from.
